Have you studied K+PvK endgames? There are a couple of techniques to be familiar with which I will struggle to explain but plenty of youtube videos do a good job. Basically, key squares (or short T and long T which helps me remember) depending on the rank, opposition, outflanking, and shepherding and the shepherding square. Others may use different names. You need to get your king to a key square in front of pawn (key squares depend on rank) then take and keep opposition (advancing the pawn as necessary, to regain opposition) and use outflanking and opposition to escort your pawn. Once you've got your king to the shepherding square you can March the pawn home.

BTW have you looked at Chessable? They have some great free endgame courses. I do the Chessable courses to learn technique then practise on the chess.com drills.
